Jamie Dornan has admitted that he hasn’t taken well to his 50 Shades Of Grey status of being called a “hunk.”
The actor is best known for his role as Christian Grey in the hit franchise, but has also starred in hugely popular TV shows like Once Upon A Time and The Fall, which has a massive cult following.
“There are worse things to be called,” he said about being called a hunk.

The Belfast native revealed that he had thrown so much of himself into his role in The Fall that he wants people to see him as that character – not their friend’s cute little brother.
“But I guess there’s a part of me that wants to be recognised for something like my TV show work,” he told the Irish Sun.
“The Fall is so engrossing and I threw myself so hard at this project. I get so deep into the heart of this terrible person.
“But the ‘cute’ thing, I haven’t taken well to. It’s an issue I’ve had since I was a kid. I was a very skinny and very young looking as a boy and I wanted my sister’s mates to fancy me.
“I wanted them not to see me as their friend’s cute little brother. I wanted to be looked at as a bearded, rugby-playing man.”
